    Free games thread

    Another one on cdkeys that's technically not quite 'free' - but at 39p, it almost is.

    Nissan Silvia spec R

    Definitely. To be honest, I think the majority of performance JDM cars of this era still look great, despite their age. The likes of an RX-7 in particular are stunning.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    RAM would be a definite for improving video editing. If you're doing a reasonable amount of that too - maybe see if you can nab a cheap i7 6700k off eBay? It should fit given the socket type - but ideally if we knew your mobo make & model, I could check for you.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I'd be just happy getting my mitts on a 3080 without being bummed for it, tbh! Read an article in the news last week about some tool being a scalper and was happy to do it. Probably just in the same way I'd like to repeatedly kick him in the b****cks on behalf of every normal person trying to...

    New 172 owner from the highlands

    As @hopgop1 said - its nice to see another being saved. I bet the previous owner's missus shouted "THANK FCUK!" when you finally took it away! :LOL: Out of bizarre curiosity - given how bad the offside rear arch is - what's the area like in the filler cap? I think mine actually started...

    Petrol blue clio 182 write off valuation.

    A bit late with the response here - but both Petrol Blue and Liquid Yellow were a £1,200 option on 182s when new. Not sure if that will help your case or not?

    Collecting Cars - The Renault Collection (live now)

    But surely that's a short sighted view for any profitable business to take though? Ask anyone in business and the most difficult thing to assign a value to is goodwill. Just how much money is a brand like RenaultSport actually worth? It maybe less than I, or many others think - or it could be...

    Collecting Cars - The Renault Collection (live now)

    Exactly that. I mean a quick Google returned the comment "Renault Group said it had a net profit of $1B in 2021, beating analysts' expectations." Keeping hold of a small (ish) unit, storing anywhere from 20-50 cars and paying for a couple of staff as mechanical custodians, isn't exactly going...

    Welcome aboard, Rob :)

    Gran Turismo 7

    Still loving AC and that b**ch of a modded RX-7 that gets very tail happy. Such a handful around Donington - but great fun. ACC is in a league of its own in terms of handling feel. Really good.

    Headlight restoring?

    Went out this afternoon and did the headlights on both cars. No idea where my 3M tape ended up, so just used standard masking tape - better than nothing I guess. Just used the combination of Chemical Guys headlight restorer that I mentioned previously and the Porter Cable set to mid-speed. The...

    Hello

    Welcome aboard. :)

    Headlight restoring?

    I've used a number of kits over the years with varying degrees of success. By far the best option for me has been a more regular treatment using this. https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/chemical-guys-headlight-restorer-and-protectant

    New Monaco Blue 172 Turbo owner... yes, that one.

    Interesting purchase! Will be good to hear how you get along with it. Welcome aboard too. :)

    Oldest game you still play?

    I take it that you're playing the OpenTTD version? :) https://www.openttd.org/

    Clio EDC Gearbox Oil Leak

    I'm sorry, but even considering selling a car based on a small oil leak is crazy! As @Sash says - find someone with a bit more experience with the RS models. Even if it's a few £hundred of labour charges to get it fixed - it's nothing in comparison to the remainder of a fully working car...

    Just bought 3 arcade machines

    Would like a Rampage! or Xybots one myself. ;)

    LY Clio V6 - 85k

    Hindsight mate - we've all been there. I wish I'd just put my Evo in a garage on stands and left it for the last eight years or so. I bet I would have doubled what I paid for it now, without even lifting a finger.

    PA04 NBZ Blackburn area today

    Just seen this a few minutes ago, driving through Shadsworth. Still looked clean. (y)

    KTR top mounts - worth it?

    Do you know if the standard mounts are still available, Kev?

    Oldest game you still play?

    That was probably my favourite of the MoH series - think I played it through at least three or four times. That last section where you attack the Flaktower and work your way up. Great stuff. As you say, simple, limited kit often makes for a much better game to play.

    KTR top mounts - worth it?

    Hi @loggyboy - have you got any pics of the old Ktec ones? How long have you had them?
  23. Darren S

    Happy Birthday.......

    Yep - picked it up from Renault Manchester on the 9th December 2004. Still got it, still driving it. 😊 Circa 170k on the clock now.

    Integrating Paypal on multiple websites?

    Hi all, Just trying to understand the best way to proceed as Paypal support appears to be non-existent. Basically, we have a website at work that accepts payments through Paypal. We have three additional websites that we also want to offer Paypal as a payment method. From what I gather, the...

    A good combat flight sim?

    Looks like the Marianas scenery pack is free as well?

    A good combat flight sim?

    Is the DCS core free, with the different aircraft being the purchasable content?

    KTR top mounts - worth it?

    Just wondering if they are worth the purchase price and fitting over OEM top mounts? Pretty sure that one of mine is squeaking now (driver's side) and would want to get it sorted, but I'm loathe to drill into to the turret tops for the KTR ones to be fitted. Anyone do it and highly recommended...

    Clio 1.8 16v n656 CFS

    A shame when something that's been looked after, appears to be neglected and practically left to fall apart not long after you sell it.

    Project Cars 3

    PC2 is a good shout. Quite a nice balance between an arcade-type racer and a semi-serious simulation. Such a shame that PS version is still way more than the PC one - the latter has the Deluxe Edition available for £7.49 with all the DLCs.
